Does this mean what I think? that when an executable is linked statically all the libraries are in the executable? So none of the required libraries are required when executing? Is there a difference between statically linking object files to a library and statically linking libraries to an executable? I'm really sorry about such fundamental questions but I want to get clarity about all that.
